Are you using the FrontMotion Community Edition MSI that allows you to configure Firefox settings with Group Policy? If so, maybe you need to implement the correct administrative template setting to ensure those settings are configurable by the end user (or force them to be set how you want). It is possible that FrontMotion makes those settings disabled by default unless you explicitly enable them in a GPO. Make sure you are upgrading using just the plain Firefox MSI located here <http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/> and see if that makes any difference.

I want to upgrade all to the latest Firefox 3.6 by Group Policy in a Server 2003 Domain. None were ever installed with FrontMotion I downloaded the latest FrontMotion MSI for 3.6, setup a GP on Server 2003. After I upgraded Firefox on a few desktops to the latest 3.6, I noticed the following. With Firefox opened ----- I click on tools/options/advanced/update Under ---- Automatically check for updates to: Firefox, Add-on's are unchecked and grayed out. ???? should not be Only search engine is checked on Would anyone know why ---- Firefox and add-on's are now unchecked and grayed out ? This is only after I used the FrontMotion MSI to upgrade Firefox. But --- if I install Firefox 3.6 as a new install from the internet, or if I upgrade an older version of Firefox to Firefox 3.6 from the internet --- nothing is grayed out under the Automatically check for updates to: Firefox add on's I can not go further with the updates with the Firefox upgrade option off, all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
